26th Annual Southern Paiute Veterans Pow Wow

[Teresa Gilbert]

After playing in Valley of Fire at sunrise, my friend Darcy Grizzle and I stopped at the Moapa Travel Center to watch the powwow. Unfortunately we only stayed through the Grand Entry due to extremely windy conditions. Here are a couple of shots I got and thought they turned out pretty cool with the vignetting effect I played with

These are very cool. I really get a kick out that first guy with his shades and cigarette. Talk about mixed cultures

 

[Leslie Hunter]

Both are great!

Hey Teresa,

These turned out really nice. #2 is my favorite.

Vignetting is a great way to help isolate a person when doing portraits. Most I would say would go for a darkening vignette, but what I like in your using a white vignette here is it makes this dancers appear like they are in a dream or a vision of a by gone era. I think you made a good choice.

Thank you. That's what I thought it was initially, but I think it's like a toothpick or matchstick since it's actually too small to be a cigarette lol.

Well done. I usually think of baby portraits with the light vignette but it works here to provide a mystical feel... Mike

Just another take on one of the previously posted images. Have to admit I have a thing for Google Nik Vintage effects...
